Hijack | Apple TV+

Watchable and enjoyable TV fodder.. all TV/movies are full of reality holes, you have to suspend reality to enjoy anything.. which I guess some people are willing to do more with one show than another.. heyho.. opinions keep this forum alive ;)

You have to laugh at the fun police who get so frothy about plot holes in what is ultimately a ridiculous premise popcorn TV show.

In fairness we all stuck with it, despite the dodgy plot holes and writing. :D
Not really frothing, compared to a lot of other threads in this sub-forum! You wanna see some fun police visit a Marvel/Star Wars/Disney thread.

Maybe, it would have worked better as a binged show rather than a weekly one. The logic being you don't have time to realise the plotholes before the next episode autoplays in 3 seconds. :D

I'm still convinced they just thought "spend cash on Idris Elba and a very expensive Plane set and we're good to go". based on that reasoning alone there should definitely not be a second season. I will be generous and say it's one of the better shows on Apple TV+

The IMDB rating is a bit higher than I would have given and I definitely don't want a second season.

But suspending reality doesn't allow you to display your armchair expert'ness for the world to see...
 
It was ludicrous from the off, but it started much better than it finished. The first few cliffhanger endings were pretty good, but by the final few episodes it was very poor.

Two psychotic prisoners somehow managed to organise a plane hijacking from inside, by telling people who knew them, or worked for them in some capacity that they needed to Hijack a plane, otherwise their families would be killed. The resolution to that? One of them killed his own brother and got away scot free!

Not only that, but they also managed to partner up with Kevin Eldon to make the stock price plummet and makes millions of pounds.

That whole storyline of the masterminds was such an under-developed throwaway thing really. It would have worked much better if they hadn't been prisoners in the first place IMO.

We even had that women walking in to traffic rather than have to face them? Just stuff like that went absolutely nowhere other than to try and say to the audience "These are bad men"

And did we honestly need that final confrontation on the plane, with Sam going back in for his bag or some stupid thing?
